A 1945 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Italian Italian One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27 1/4" x 39 1/2") (Learn More)

The Adventures of Robin Hood, the classic 1938 Michael Curtiz & William Keighley England royalty romantic adventure thriller ("Dazzling to the eye... stirring to the heart - a great entertainment from Warner Bros."; "Based "He lives again - the world's most beloved rogue!"; On Ancient Robin Hood Legends"; "Photographed in Technicolor"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Errol Flynn (in the title role as Robin Hood), Olivia De Havilland (as Maid Marian), Basil Rathbone (as Sir Guy of Gisbourne), Claude Rains (as Prince John), Patric Knowles (as Will Scarlett), Eugene Pallette (as Friar Tuck), Alan Hale Sr. (as Little John), Melville Cooper (as the Sheriff of Nottingham), Ian Hunter (as King Richard the Lion Heart), Una O'Connor, and Herbert Mundin. Note that the mount of Maid Marian is played by none other than Trigger the Horse, before he was purchased by Roy Rogers! Finally, note that anyone who saw this movie remembers well the archery contest which comes down to Errol Flynn in disguise and Owain the Welshman, but few people know that Owain was played by the world's greatest archer, Howard Hill, and that he also did Flynn's bow and arrow stunts shown in the movie!

Artist: Luigi Martinati
Important Added Info: Note that the IMDb lists that this movie first played in Italy in 1938. But we can find no other record of that release, and no sign of any posters from that supposed release. So we are listing this poster as the first release from 1945 (the poster is dated). If anyone has any information about that supposed 1938 release (especially where it played and if posters were created), please e-mail us and we will post it here. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept the uncertainty as to whether it is from the first release or from a 1945 re-release!

Note that it is difficult to accurately date Italian posters, and some unmarked re-release posters can be extremely difficult to distinguish from first releases, so please bear that in mind before you place a bid. We used our best information to date this poster, but we can't always guarantee that the Italian posters we sell are not from an unmarked re-release, but this will only prove to be true in a very tiny number of cases.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper tears and tiny bits of paper loss in the vertical foldline, with a lesser amount of wear on the horizontal folds. There were pinholes in the corners and some minor border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
